MY WEEK!

July 29-2013

Well this week was pretty good. And
pretty tough. But it was good.

I’m glad you all had fun at the
ranch.

Well, I’m just going to go through the
week day by day.

Tuesday we had an awesome lesson with
Daneilson and his family. Daneilson is the father. But yeah that whole family
is so legit. And we brought President Quiame with us, who is the branch
president but will be the Patriarch here someday I swear! Anyway, we talked
about the gospel of Jesus Christ and baptism. It was way good. Kind of like
"put your faith and your intent on the line" kind of lesson. He
expressed some concern about leaving his pentacostal church and so he didn’t
know if they were going to come to church on Sunday. So, I bore my testimony
and then challenged them all to pray about the Book of Mormon and they all said
they would do it. And then, Sunday came...... and the whole family walked
in!!!!! I was soo happy!

Not much else really happened this week
because a lot of our investigators were out of town. But the district put on a
campout for all the youth. It was basically like a stake youth conference. They
went camping and such and had a bunch of sweet faith building activities. Elder
McCune got to go with his comp cause they had baptisms and they got to baptize
them in the river! So cool! I’m jealous. But tudo bem. Apparently on the campout, the young
women of our Benfica branch got talking at night. ( of course) and they rated
the cuteness of the missionaries in our branch. There’s 6 of us. Well, trying
not to say this too pridefully..... I was number 1. hahaha jk.

So all during this week we had a plumber
over trying to fix our pump so we have to be at the house with him when he does
that. Lots of time was wasted. Anyway, the pump kept breaking every time after
he left so we would call him again and he would come in the morning the next
day. Anyway, we get to Saturday. He was supposed to come in the morning. Elder
Brown and I waited..... we put all our appointments in the evening.. and we
waited and waited. Nothin. Finally we’re like okay forget this he’s not coming.
Let’s go. We are literally walking to our gate when he knocks. gosh dang it! So
Saturday was wasted. Sunday was good though. I had an interview with President
to help with my rebellious heart that I have. hahaha He’s awesome I love that
guy. Don’t worry. I haven’t been doing anything rebellious. I just feel
rebellious. Then we had dinner with him and sister. We heard some good
stories.

So yeah, with the visa thing.... keep
praying. we heard by word of mouth that the visas were approved. There
is nothing official yet though. I talked to president last night. But
were still praying.

Oh, I gave Elder Hobbs a hair cut on
Saturday. My first one ever! But it came out really well. I was proud hahaha
and so was he.

Well, that ‘s about the rap. I learn
about transfers next week. We’ll see what happens! It’s crazy.. Austin and Matt
are already training... hahaha and we have 30 missionaries in Angola right
now... that’s like barely a zone in other missions!
